Neural Correlates of Hostile Jokes: Cognitive and Motivational Processes in Humor Appreciation

Neural Correlates of Hostile Jokes: Cognitive and Motivational Processes in Humor Appreciation

Hostile jokes provide aggressive catharsis and a feeling of superiority. Behavioral research has found that hostile jokes are perceived as funnier than non-hostile jokes. The purpose of the present study was to identify the neural correlates of the interaction between type and humor by comparing hos...
